Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great product, but very expensive-- here's an alternative. Hi folks, I purchased a property that had some mold issues, and the name Concrobium came up a number of times. When I investigated further, people on the do-it-yourself forums mentioned the main ingredient was washing soda. After doing some further investigation I found a couple of homemade recipes and tried them. For the area that I needed to treat in my house I could have easily spent $150 on what I needed of the Concrobium product, but instead spent under five dollars. So, the solution is 2 teaspoons per quart of Washing soda ( available at the supermarket with other detergents), and then 1/8 teaspoon of trisodium phosphate (TSP). This is available at Home Depot and other hardware stores, and is used as a cleaner or paint preparation. Just look in the paint section at HD. Both of these are very inexpensive. Under $10 for both, and you could make 50 gallons or more of mold control. As a test, I had a really nasty smelling instrument case that was left in my basement. Very strong pungent mildew smell-- like ready for the dump kind of smell. I sprayed on my homemade mixture, and let it sit overnight. The next morning the smell was completely gone. After a month, the smell is still not back, so save yourself some dollars and mix up your own brew! I'm not knocking this Concrobium product at all, it works, and is convenient. But if you want to save some money, mix up your own. This company is making a huge amount of profit on something that cost pennies per qt. to make.
